welcome It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 21st Biennial Bluefield Coal Show.
On behalf of the Greater Bluefield Chamber of Commerce, we are all overwhelmed and grateful to all of the exhibitors and guests for making this show, THE COAL SHOW OF THE EAST.
Chairman, Charles A. Peters and his entire staff of volunteers have again put a prestigious and informative show together for all to enjoy. The hours of preparation by Mr. Peters, the volunteers, the sponsors, the chamber staff, the exhibitors and the guests make this the show for coal people.
During this difficult time for the coal industry, it is imperative that we all remain focused on the challenges that we face as an industry. We must remain vigilant and empowered to work together as a community for the good of coal. All of us must continue to write, telephone, e-mail, attend hearings and other functions to inform our politicians that we are concerned and will fight for our coal to remain part of the current and future energy portfolio and to be used in the manufacturing of goods for the American people.
Thank you for attending and we hope you have a successful show.

Congratulations to the Greater Bluefield Chamber of Commerce for another great Bluefield Coal Show. The National Mining Association (NMA) was particularly grateful for your continuing support of A Voice for Coal in partnership with NMA’s Advocacy Campaign Team (ACT) for mining, http://actioncenter.nma.org. Your voices have joined with thousands of others who are concerned about public policies that are hurting consumers across America’s heartland and the “coal people” who come to your great coal show.
Thanks again for your continuing support of our most abundant and affordable energy resource—American coal.
Hal Quinn President and CEO National Mining Association
The Bluefield Coal Show vividly combines the pride and professionalism of the world’s best coal miners, coal mine managers and the industry’s great supporting infrastructure with state-of-the-art mining equipment and the latest, unbelievable technology to convince everyone that coal will be the world’s Fuel of Choice for years to come. When one-half of America’s coal exports come from West Virginia, Bluefield, in the heart of the world’s most valuable coalfield, is the perfect place to showcase this confidence for the future of Appalachian coal.
Bill Raney President West Virginia Coal Association

The administration’s Clean Power Plan announced with great fanfare last month not only defied the will of Congress and the American people. It defies common sense. Despite the confident pronouncements that costs to consumers and the economy will be slight – and
may even result in lower electricity costs – there is no logic to support either assertion. Truth be told, the CPP should be labeled the Costly Power Plan—it essentially substitutes costlier, subsidized sources of electricity generation for less costly, abundant sources. The results are predictable.
It shouldn’t require an economist to figure this out. But it does require an honest accounting of what American consumers are likely to pay after first coal and then natural gas are replaced in short order by alternative forms of energy to power the nation’s grid. A more honest description of the Clean Power Plan – the Obama Administration’s carbon dioxide reduction plan to address climate change – is to call it a stealth energy tax. “Stealth” because it is being sold as a vital component of an urgent effort to slow global warming when, in fact, it will have virtually no measurable impact on global temperatures or greenhouse gas concentrations.
It is an energy “tax” because it is public policy that deliberately raises the price of an essential good – electricity. Although most Americans expect, and many rely on affordable electricity to balance family budgets, it’s exactly low- cost, coal-generated electricity that the administration wants Americans to use less of. To discourage consumption, the administration is steadily dismantling the coal-based economy.
The Clean Power Plan would accomplish this by forcing states to shut down more coal capacity and fill the gap with power generated by renewable fuels. As we all know, renewable fuels have their place in America’s energy portfolio. But that place isn’t the baseload power market. Likewise, distributed energy has a bright future, but that future isn’t here yet and remains inadequate to the task of powering our factories and businesses that actually make things. Without coal to generate 40 percent of American electricity, the

Murray Energy Corporation announced that it will proceed with five lawsuits challenging the Obama Administration’s flagrantly unlawful Clean Power Plan. This illegal Rule will adversely restructure the electric power system in America and will force every State to radically change their energy policies. It will dramati- cally increase the cost of electricity for all Americans, with no environmental benefit whatsoever.
In promulgating this so-called Clean Power Plan, the Obama Administration has ignored the voluminous input clearly dem- onstrating the illegality and impracticality of the Rule, and failed to make necessary changes. “The proposed two-year delay in the implementation of EPA’s anticipated carbon regulations is irrelevant” said Mr. Robert E. Murray, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Murray Energy. “American families and businesses will still bear the brunt of huge electricity cost
increases and less power system reliability. What the proposed two-year delay does as- sure is an extremely destructive and costly ‘balloon payment’ in 2022”, Mr. Murray continued.
In filing these five lawsuits, Murray En- ergy is seeking to block an illegal rulemaking which will be devastating to all Ameri- cans. “Our citizens on fixed incomes will not be able to pay their electric bills, and our manufacturers of products for the global marketplace will not be able to compete”, stated Mr. Murray. “We have no choice but to challenge the Obama Administration’s illegal actions in Court, and we will prevail.”
Murray Energy the largest underground coal mining company in the Country, which provides over 7,000 jobs in six states, and ships coal to domestic customers in fifteen states.

Over recent weeks, World Bank climate change envoy Rachel Kyte has made a number of comments claiming that coal isn’t part of the solution to energy poverty. Pointing to investments being made globally in renewable energy, Ms. Kyte argues that coal is a fuel of the past, which we all need to be “weaned” off.
But her comments don’t match up with the numbers. The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts coal use in electricity generation to grow 33% by 2040. Demand for coal in Southeast Asia alone is expected to increase 4.8% a year through to 2035.
And that’s at the heart of the challenge we face. On one hand, we have global figures claiming that the world doesn’t need coal and that developing countries will be able to drive forward with economic development without it. On the other, we have
developing and emerging countries utilizing coal for the foreseeable future to meet their ever-growing energy needs.
Earlier this month, Joko Widodo, the President of Indonesia, pledged to signifi- cantly increase his country’s investment in coal-fired power stations. The announce- ment received widespread criticism from environmental campaigners around the world. Yet surely Indonesia is entitled to use its significant domestic coal resources to
provide reliable and affordable electricity to fuel its growing economy.
It’s important that we have conver- sations about how we meet growing global energy needs but these conver- sations have to be grounded in reality. They also have to be grounded in an understanding that we will never meet climate objectives or overcome the huge challenge of energy poverty if we treat them as competing priorities.
It is not surprising then that Chinedu Ositadinma Nebo, Nigeria’s new minister of power, is in favor of developing coal power projects in Africa. He recently remarked “whatever we can do to get Africa from a place of darkness to a place of light… I think we should encourage that to happen.”
Given these very real energy needs, we need all sources of energy and all low

nma says regulatiOn prOtects regulatOrs, nOt streams
National Mining Association (NMA) President and CEO Hal Quinn has issued the following comments on the so-called Stream Protection Rule (SPR) proposed by the U.S. Office of Surface Mining (OSM). The agency is currently holding a series of nationwide “public hearings” to solicit com- ment on the highly controversial regulation.
“The SPR is a massive regulation in search of a purpose, one that is entirely about politics, not stream protection. The Office of Surface Mining is trying hard to maintain its relevance in the face of exemplary performance by the industry and the state regulators. “These hearings provide the first—albeit
limited—opportunity for OSM to address important questions about its massive regu- latory rewrite.
“Is this rule about new science as OSM claims, or is it about new politics, as the agency suggested when it said in 2010, ‘We already decided to change the rule following the change in administration on January 20, 2009’?
“Is there any actual need for OSM to rewrite 475 regulations? Under existing rules, 90 percent of all mines have no offsite impacts—with many having no offsite impacts at all—according to the federal agency’s oversight reports.
“Is OSM genuinely interested in learning from public comments? The federal agency is invoking a 60/2 format—60 days to file comments on several thousand pages of regulation, and two minutes for statements during the hearings. It appears OSM has already declared the game over—a continu- ation of its past practice when it shut out the state regulators for over five years during the rulemaking process.
“Where does the rule offer any environmental benefit not already provided by

administration will expose consumers to a greater risk of power shortages, brownouts and higher costs.
The illogic of the administration’s climate ambitions are not confined to the Clean Power Plan’s impact on existing power plants. The EPA’s greenhouse gas standards for new power plants virtually prohibit new coal capacity from being built. If their goal is to address global warming in some meaningful way, then why set emissions standards that bar deployment of advanced coal technologies in the U.S.? How will that reduce emissions from the major emitting countries like India and China,
countries that are still on track to use coal anyway?
Behind all this is the illogical assumption that coal is yesterday’s fuel. Some would like Americans to believe that coal is an energy source they can do without. But the fact remains that coal is the largest source of America’s electricity – at low cost. And it is also the world’s largest source of electricity, and a vital one for the 1.3 billion people in the world who don’t have it.
If you agree the president’s power plant regulations lack common sense, tell your governor and your lawmakers.

“Bluefield is a great show for Caterpillar and its local dealers. It's a unique, family-friendly environment, and we greatly appreciate the quality time we get with our customers, their families, and even our competitors."
Paul Mulley Caterpillar Underground Product Manager for Room & Pillar, and Highwall Miners
The coal industry has long been a vital element of this region’s economy. The Bluefield Coal Show is the region’s primary event in which the latest mining and mining-related equipment, technologies and services are showcased, providing the ideal forum for displaying the most modern items
to improve productivity and safety in and around the mines.
The success of the Coal Show is due to the hard work of the Coal Show Chairman, Charlie Peters and to the tremendous efforts of the many volunteers and the Chamber Staff. I appreciate the hard work and dedication of all of those involved. Many thanks to the exhibitors as well for their hard work and support. There are a number of issues adversely affecting the coal industry and more proposed regulations to further impact our industry. Like the last show, we will have a number of clearly marked sites from which attendees will be able to send an electronic message to their elected representatives. I urge you to seek out the, “Voice for Coal” volunteers to express your support of the coal industry.
Thank you for your support of the Bluefield Coal Show. I look forward to seeing you there.” Richard "Bud" Clapp, Vice Chair Economic Enhancement Division

The rebuild facility at J.H. Fletcher & Co. has been successfully operating since 1994. By incorporating the most current design innovations, Fletcher is able to bring yesterday’s roof bolting equipment to today’s standards. At the facility, the machines are stripped down and each component is either reworked or modernized. This process is done in close association with Fletcher’s Engineering Department to ensure that old parts are returned to original specs, and that any safety or design improvements are incorporated. Any parts that cannot be rebuilt are replaced with stock rebuilt parts or in many cases, with new parts.
Over the years, many improvements have been made which have positive effects on safety, productivity, and serviceability. Whenever possible, many of Fletcher’s innovations are designed in a way which renders them adaptable to older Fletcher equipment. To a large extent the development of Fletcher’s product line has been an evolutionary process, leaving some equipment obsolete by today’s safety and productivity standards. Fortunately, Fletcher can salvage these old machines
through their extensive “modernization” program.
An example is the evolution of the DDO into the RRII. Many of the Fletcher Roof Ranger features are adaptable to a DDO such as the new design front and rear lift systems which eliminates possible chassis fatigue. An old DDO can be fitted with an approved ATRS system, an independent drop in oil tank, offset booms, new canopies, and support post assemblies with adjustable wear pads. To further the example, the Fletcher Roof Ranger can be upgraded into a “walkthrough” WT DDR.
Some of the new improvements that are retrofitted to machines, include: dust bag collection system, replacement boom with offset style boom, additional L-style ATRS, canopies and operator protection up to current standards, in-by and out-by rock deflector pads, joystick handle arrangements, new start switch, canopy extensions, rear entry into tram deck, tram compartment chain guard, rib access booms for “walkthrough” machines, air canopy, and inadvertent activation joystick. After assembly, all
components are tested as if it were a new machine.
With the Fletcher modernization program, customers not only receive up-to-date equipment, but an array of benefits. Equipment is updated with all new operator guarding and warning tags, along with new control labeling on equipment. To coincide with the newly modernized machine, customers receive an updated parts book, service manual and circuit drawings. As always, Fletcher systems are certified. This includes MSHA approvals where required and Fletcher assistance getting field approvals when needed. And lastly, Fletcher backs their modernization program with a new machine warranty, as well as continued access to Fletcher engineers and service personnel.
With the rebuild and modernization facility, Fletcher is committed to ensuring that equipment designed and built by J.H. Fletcher & Co. can be continuously upgraded to provide customers with state-of-the-art equipment.
J.H. Fletcher & Company is located in booths 1615 & 1616.

emission technologies available to us. This includes high efficiency, low emission coal (HELE) and carbon capture and storage (CCS).
Raising the average efficiency of the global coal fleet from the current 33% to 40% – achievable with off-the-shelf technology – would save 2 gigatonnes of CO2 emissions. This is equivalent to India’s annual CO2 emissions or running the Kyoto Protocol three times over. They also all but eliminate other emissions that historically have caused concerns about air quality. As well as offering significant and immediate CO2 reductions, HELE technologies are also a key step on the pathway to CCS. CCS, which is currently deployed at a coal-fired power station at Boundary Dam in Canada, captures 90% of the plants CO2 emissions.
The World Bank could play a major role in ensuring countries build coal plants utilizing the best technology instead of
cheaper, but more polluting technology. The IEA has raised concerns about international investors moving away from coal and the risk that this presents:
“If development banks withhold financing for coal-fired power plants, countries that build new capacity will be less inclined to select the most efficient designs because they are more expensive, consequently raising CO2 emissions.”
We cannot afford to write off any energy source. Instead, we should focus on fast-tracking the use of all low emission technologies, including high efficiency low emission coal and CCS. Until this hap- pens, the unfortunate truth is the rhetoric on climate change and the reality of energy poverty will never be reconciled. 1.3 billion people live in energy poverty.
2.7 billion people do not have clean cook- ing facilities and rely on dung and wood. In many countries around the world, a lack
of access to power constrains growth and hampers efforts to alleviate poverty. Coal plays a critical role in bringing af-
fordable, reliable electricity to hundreds of millions of people in developing and emerging economies, particularly across Asia.
The World Bank estimates that in the last three decades 600 million people have been lifted out of poverty – almost all of those in China. Remove China from the mix and poverty levels in the rest of the world have barely improved. The link between access to affordable power from coal, economic growth and prosperity is clear. In China close to 99 percent of the population is connected to the grid.
Elsewhere, the numbers aren’t so positive. In some Sub-Saharan African countries as much as 80 percent of households are without any access to utility-based electricity. But it gets worse. Even if you are fortunate enough to be connected to the
31
grid you will suffer from regular power outages, often for hours and sometimes days.
Contrary to the comments made by his climate change envoy, World Bank President Jim Yong Kim last year recognized at the US-Africa Business Forum that the World Bank may well finance coal projects because the situation in Africa is “almost energy apartheid” and there is “demand for access to power” in the region. His comments were made as African leaders demanded the world recognize they would be using coal to improve their energy situation.
But her comments don’t match up with the numbers. The Inter- national Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts coal use in electricity generation to grow 33% by 2040. Demand for coal in Southeast Asia alone is expected to increase 4.8% a year through to 2035.
And that’s at the heart of the challenge we face. On one hand, we have global figures claiming that the world doesn’t need coal and that developing countries will be able to drive forward with economic development without it. On the other, we have developing and emerging countries utilizing coal for the foreseeable future to meet their ever-growing energy needs.

The Bluefield Coal Show is a unique, family friendly show where miners come expecting to see familiar faces and catch up with the coal mining community. For this reason, Caterpillar is pleased to have its regional Cat® Dealers, along CWW Conveyor Systems (CWW), leading the exhibit.
Keith Harrison, Marketing Supervisor for Carter Machinery, is leading the effort on behalf of several key coal mining dealers. Carter supports coal producers in all of Virginia and part of West Virginia. “Our display is centered on our strong commitment to this industry and the value a Cat Dealer brings to its customers,” Harrison says. “Despite challenging times in the Appalachian coal industry, we continue to invest in the underground sector of our business.
“As Cat Dealers, we can do quite a bit to help customers lower their costs,” he adds. “By displaying examples of our equipment rebuild capabilities, we hope to show Bluefield attendees the quality and skill that we bring to our craft.”
The Caterpillar exhibit will feature two rebuilt machines, a coal hauler and scoop. It will also include a Highwall Miner display model and CWW conveyor products of a Combo Drive and Rock Duster. Additionally, there will be video presentations of the Cat product line and dealer capabilities.
Carter Machinery has fully rebuilt a number of Cat underground machines recently in their 140,000-sq-ft facility in Princeton, W.Va. Rebuild projects include two longwall systems, a trio of CM210 Continuous Miners, four coal haulers and two scoops. Carter also operates a 58,000-sq-ft Reconditioning Center in Salem, Va., where many mining machine components are rebuilt.
“Rebuilding equipment is a large part of our business as customers see the value in holding on to assets and getting the
most out of their design lives,” says Kevin Barnhouse, Vice President and General Manager of Whayne-Walker Underground Mining, which supports customers in all of Kentucky and parts of West Virginia, Ohio and
Indiana. “Cat products are designed to be rebuilt, and we fully expect you to come to us two, three, even four times to rebuild a machine.”
“We have engaged in a very successful underground mining machine rebuild program with our customers—rebuilding scoops, shield haulers, continuous miners, feeder breakers and longwall gearboxes. We take great pride in the quality of work coming out of our rebuild facilities in Belle, W. Va. and Corbin, Ky., and we encourage visits to those locations. But rebuilds are only one example of the tools we have to help our customers. Come to our exhibit— outdoors near the registration tent—to see how we can help.”
CWW Conveyor Systems (CWW) headquartered in Hillsville, Va., is a newly established, company as of March 2015 from the former Caterpillar Conveyor Systems Product Group. CWW was formed by two Caterpillar dealer principals: Jay Cleveland Jr. of Cleveland Brothers Equipment Company, Inc. and CB Mining, Inc. and Monty L. Boyd of Whayne Supply Co. and Walker Machinery Co. CWW provides a dedicated focus on sales and support for United States, Canada and Mexico. CWW designs, engineers and manufactures complete belt terminal group systems, supporting idler structure assemblies, pulleys and replacement rollers to fit any manufacturer’s frame, belt cleaners, rock dusters, and conveyor systems accessories. CWW equipment is designed to integrate and run seamlessly with Cat mining equipment.
“CWW is committed to the underground mining industry and to the material handling needs of our customers,”
commented Michael Stewart, General Manager for CWW. “We understand the importance of providing end users with a reliable conveyor solution that fits their specific application. During these challenging economic times, we are continuing to look for different ways to reduce cost for our customers and have had success in doing so in the central Appalachia region.”
Shawn Martin is Caterpillar’s Eastern Region Sales Manager: “The Bluefield coal show is a super environment for connecting with miners and talking shop in a low-key environment. At the same time, it’s an important opportunity for us to showcase what we can do, how well we do it, and where we can help customers with products or services that they’ve never considered beforelike financial services, remanufactured parts and service agreements.”
“The coal industry is vital to Caterpillar; we’re invested in it both on the surface and underground, and our commitment to it is deep and steadfast. We continue to develop and invest in new products specifically for the underground coal market, and we’ll continue to introduce new technologies and services to our customers for the long term. In the meantime, we look forward to the chance to see and speak with all our regional customers at the show.”

other state and federal agencies under the Clean Water Act and other programs that apply to coal mining? OSM dismisses coal job losses because it assumes that they will be off-set by new jobs needed to ensure compliance with this new massive burden. With almost 40 percent of our electricity originating from American miners, lost coal jobs is not just a miner matter.
“If OSM has accomplished anything in this proposal, it is making a compelling case for why the agency is increasingly unnecessary and irrelevant. Under state regulators who administer Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act for 97 percent of all coal production, off-site impacts have diminished, leaving OSM grasping at the missions of its rival state and federal agencies to feign relevance.
“Congress should examine OSM’s bud- get and take appropriate action.”
